On the Unity of Christ

“Given that these old [Christological] arguments are far from dead, and given the importance of the debate in terms of what constitutes the Church’s doctrine of Christ, and how it articulates its authentic tradition, then it should prove both opportune and instructive to present this translation of Cyril to a new generation of readers. It is one of Cyril’s most elegant and approachable writings, and explains at the end of a long battle from which he has emerged successful, why in his own time he utterly rejected[...]a relativistic and inclusive approach to the nature of Christian Paradosis—that ‘Tradition’ of Christianity which is not merely a historico-theological matter, but an enduring question of the articulation of the church’s spiritual experience of its redeeming Lord.”—“Introduction: A Synopsis of St Cyril’s Christological Doctrine”
